Totally agree cc.
Depends how you define skill. Personally I think you can't seperate them, generally both haven't looked like being beaten, the question of who is the best will be answered if and when one of them loses that 0. It's impossible to know just how good (or bad) a fighter is until they've been beaten.
Have to disagree Calzaghe is certainly better skilled fighter he uses angles, combinations ect. Hatton is good at what he does no question but P4P Calzaghe is better skill wise.
Can't argue with that, if it were ams or a compubox competition then yes i'd say Calzaghe was more skilled. If you were talking about getting inside on a guy and landing devastating body shots (an art form in itself) then you could say Hatton was more skilled in that department. Generally people wouldn't define that in the same category as just "Skill", I would.

Well i will agree on that Hatton does use good angles on the inside and where ever he plants his feet he can hit you at any angle he also uses good technique when he lands body shots because he gets his whole bodyweight behind it i would still say Calzaghe is more skilled but like i said Hatton is also a master at what he does.
Re: AT THIS POINT WHO IS THE BEST BRITISH FIGHTER???
Well Calzaghe names are about the same but if Hatton wins over PBf he will have a better resume by a guy. All what you consider the best Hatton has not unified or beat the best over the years till recently Calzaghe has unified and beat every top opponent in the last 10 years with 22 defences is not to bad.
